Hokage: Ryo's Path Chapter 470

In an unknown space, Namikaze Minato and Kushina watched the white Zetsu in front of them with a sharp look.

For two years, Namikaze Minato had been working with Kushina around Ninja World to find the special space and spatial coordinates left by Kaguya. But the more they looked for them, they only got even more surprised.

In two years, they had cleared away dozens of secret spaces left by Kaguya. ꟷThere is a part of the trunk of the god of tree in these spaces, and many things like silkworm pupa are hung on the trunk. Once an outsider invades, the contents of the silkworm pupa will emerge from inside.

White Zetsu appears from the silkworm pupa. The difference is that these White Zetsu are more cruel and terrifying than the White Zetsu that Namikaze Minato had seen outside.

The White Zetsu outside the space left by Kaguya has the Chakra quantity of ordinary Jōnin with the strength is about the same as Chunin. The White Zetsu strength in the space left by Kaguya has Jōnin, even Elite Jōnin in strength and Chakra quantity.

Now the space they are in right now is even more special. There is a puppet hanging on the trunk of the entire God Tree. The White Zetsu hatched from the puppet makes Namikaze Minato feel uneasy.

“Who are you? How dare you break into Master's territory.”

“Minato, he can actually speak!” Kushina was taken aback.

Most of the White Zetsu they solved in the past two years were mentally inferior and could only rely on instinct to act. The guy in front of him actually spoke, apparently possessing some intelligence.

Namikaze Minato patted Kushina's shoulders, put her behind him, and asked White Zetsu, “Is the master you just said is Kaguya?”

“How dare you! Mere humans actually dare to call Master's name. Aren't you afraid of Master punishment?”

Namikaze Minato laughed and said, “Your Master has been sealed by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura for nearly a thousand years. There will be no chance for her to come out. Of course, I'm not afraid of punishment and so on.”

“What? Impossible! Master she … Master is invincible! You must be lying to me, peasant! You dare to try to fool me! Go to hell, human!”

White Zetsu did not believe what Namikaze Minato was saying, thinking that Namikaze Minato was lying to him, and rushed towards him.

“Kushina, you step aside. Let me handle it!” Namikaze Minato pushed Kushina away. He and White Zetsu got into a fight.

After some fighting, Namikaze Minato found that this White Zetsu was not Ninjutsu like other White Zetsu. Still, this White Zetsu has mastered a special method of using Chakra, which is similar to Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist, Taijutsu.

After finding out the information about White Zetsu, Namikaze Minato delivered Flying thunder god kunai to White Zetsu. He dodged sideways, the Kunai passed before him. Namikaze Minato teleported to where Kunai was and cut off White Zetsu's neck.

What surprised Namikaze Minato was that the wound on White Zetsu's neck recovered quickly. He rushed towards Namikaze Minato without fear of death.

“This guy has an Immortal Body!”

“Minato, I'm here to help too!”

“Okay! I'll attract his attention. You and Kurama prepare Bijūdama.”

Kushina nodded and entered Bijuu's Second-Stage. Bijūdama was condensed in her hands.

Namikaze Minato delivered a Flying thunder god kunai and then used the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique to turn a kunai into dozens, golden rays of light jumping out from the Kunai, every one of them leaving a fatal wound on White Zetsu.

After the flash over, White Zetsu's body was full of wounds. Even with the Immortal Body, he couldn't recover quickly with so many fatal injuries. White Zetsu knelt on the ground and used Chakra to heal the wound.

“Kushina, now!”

“Okay!” Right after Kushina threw a football-sized Bijūdama against White Zetsu, Namikaze Minato took Kushina to teleport to the upper layer of the space.

BOOM– 

With the sound of a huge explosion, space itself also began to tremble, and it took a long time for it to stop.

Namikaze Minato took Kushina teleport back to the lower space and found that White Zetsu's body had been turned into ash by Bijūdama, leaving only one arm. Namikaze Minato stepped forward, sealed White Zetsu's arm, then entered Sage Mode. It destroyed the trunk of the God Tree with Rasen Shuriken.

Then Namikaze Minato returned to Ninja World with Kushina. Because the two teleported near the Land of Rice Fields, Namikaze Minato decided to go to Otogakure to find Yamanaka Ryo and explain the current situation.

Otogakure, Orochimaru's laboratory.

Yamanaka Ryo was working with him on how to replicate Kekkei Genkai perfectly on clones.

This study by Orochimaru had made a breakthrough, and the Kekkei Genkai Ninja gene had been fused to the clone body. But he still didn't know why the Kekkei Genkai always seemed to be a recessive gene. No matter what method Orochimaru used, there is no way to make the clone body awaken Kekkei Genkai. Yōton, Shakuton, Hyoton, Sharingan, Byakugan… nothing worked. It made Orochimaru anxious.

Because Yamanaka Ryo had nothing to do recently, so Orochimaru pulled him over to assist his research.

While the two were experimenting, Namikaze Minato took Kushina to the laboratory.

“Minato-nii, Kushinnee, why are you here?” Yamanaka Ryo stopped when they came and asked what happened.

“We just solved a space left by Kaguya, and it happened to come out of the space right near Land-of-Rice Fields. Anyway, I'll tell you the latest situation.”

“Oh, let's go to my room. Better to not disturb Uncle Snake's experiment.”

Namikaze Minato nodded, “Well, okay! Orochimaru-senpai, we're leaving.”

Orochimaru even didn't raise his head, only waved his goodbye.

In Yamanaka Ryo's room, Namikaze Minato told Yamanaka Ryo everything he encountered during this time. He then asked, “Ryo, is Kaguya leaving so many White Zetsu to fight the Ōtsutsuki Clan?”

Yamanaka Ryo nodded, “Most likely. Kaguya felt that the Ōtsutsuki Clan was stronger than her, so she felt threatened. But don't worry, the one we met at that time said that Rikudō Sennin's power is already top-notch in the Ōtsutsuki Clan. The Ōtsutsuki Clan should not be as terrifying as Kaguya thought. In other words, Kaguya didn't even know how much power she had gained by eating Ninja World's God Tree fruit.”

Hearing this, Kushina said, “Wouldn't that mean Kaguya staying there was completely the result of her worries and will be a great disaster for Ninja World?”

“Well, I think so. That's why I asked Minato to help clean up White Zetsu in that space and to exclude the space coordinates left by Kaguya to prevent people from the Ōtsutsuki Clan from coming to Ninja World. But now it's no longer needed. Minato-nii, you came back just right in time. You and Kushinnee will return to Konoha after a while.”

“Return to Konoha? Are you sure? Ninja World has a lot of space left uncleared, and there are some coordinates I couldn't find yet. It's not the time to return to the village. Let me first…”

“With Minato-nii, I'm not afraid even if the Otsutsuki Clan comes here!” Said Yamanaka Ryo opened Rinnegan that merged with the power of Hyoton and Korin. Such an amazing moment emerged from Yamanaka Ryo's body.

Namikaze Minato was taken aback, and when he looked at Yamanaka Ryo's ice blue pupil, he said in surprise, “This is Rinnegan! What about the Hyoton in your body? What's going on?”

Yamanaka Ryo laughed and explained his current status to Minato.

After listening to Yamanaka Ryo's explanation, Namikaze Minato also smiled, “If that's the case, I'm relieved. I've been away from the village for so many years. I really miss home. Finally, I can take off the burden and go home!”

Kushina was also a little excited, “Naruto will be happy when he knows that his father is alive!”

“Kushinnee, Naruto is a keen kid. He should have found out that Minato is still alive. If you don't believe me, you can look at the sealed memory in your mind.” Yamanaka Ryo said and snapped his finger to lift Namikaze Minato and Kushina's mind seal about Rōran.
